This is exactly where the blockchain hucksters went after it was clear crypto and NFTs were a dead market. This is, like that, a technology without a real use case, that wastes resources en masse for an active downgrade in user experience. Corps are just seeing imaginary dollar signs.

The persistent message I'm getting from all the companies heavily pushing AI is an increasingly nervous "we spent so much fucking money on this. We spent SO MUCH fucking money on this!"

I'm convinced they actually want the world to end, with the climate change they're rapidly accelerating with this technology they're trying to force on people. To what motive, and whether the billionaires in charge think they'll survive it, I can only guess 🤷
